SOUTH AFRICA
A WINDOW TO THE SOUL OF SOUTH AFRICA
The Blue Train Luxurious and Romantic
Since its inception the Blue Train has been synonymous with elegance and luxury – its name has become associated with the ultimate in comfort and personal service. The suites on the Blue Train live up to its reputation, and each coach has a butler on call to attend to your needs and ensure that your experience is as memorable and comfortable as possible.
The fully air-conditioned trains accommodate between 74 - 82 guests, depending on which ‘set’ is used. Each ‘set’ has two lounges - the main lounge car which is a meeting place for drinks and high tea,
and the club car where guests can relax over an after dinner drink or watch the large screen which provides a drivers-eye-view of the track ahead. Cuisine aboard the train features South African delicacies complemented by fine South African wines.
The routes of the Blue Train take guests through some of the most breathtaking countryside to be found anywhere in the world. When you choose to travel on the Blue Train, you choose to travel in a world of grace, elegance and romance
The route between Pretoria and Cape Town is a 2 night journey of 1 600 kilometres (994 miles), through some of the most diverse and spectacular scenery on the continent. The train stops
at the famous diamond town of Kimberley where guests can explore the Diamond Museum and the Big Hole, the biggest man-made hole in the world.
